“The Women Who Started 





The Rutiand Free Library 


Maau 4viijv ¥ 


The need for a public library in 
post-Civil War Rutland was 
something everybody agreed 
upon, The city’s population had 
tripled to 7,500 during the 
railroad boom decade of the 1850s 
and doubled again by the 1880s. It 


= = 


was a growth surge remarked | 


was time Rutland had a library, 
but for 20 years there had been 
nothing but talk. 

Then in January 1886, ‘the 


~ women’’ took matters into their 


own hands and formed a library 
association which elected Julia 
president. A month later, the 
group carried off a four-day 
“entertainment” at the Clement 


Bank building which raised $300 | _ 
as well as pledges and contribu- ™ 


tions. 


The very success of this initial ~ 
effort, however, would lead 
_ within a week to a “‘battle of the 
~ sexes.’’ Now that the prospect of | 


a library was getting closer, cer- 


tain of the male subscribers of | ~ 
funds, notably Percival W. Cle- | 


ment, felt that management 
should be broadened to include 
both sexes. After all, the business 
and legal ramifications of the 
new venture would certainly re- 
quire male expertise. 

Clement and other men also 
sought assurance that the women 


planned a true public library and | 
moreover that they intended to © 


locate it in Memorial Hall, the 
marble Civil War memorial 
structure then slowly taking 
shape on West Street. 

Julia Dorr, however, was 
determined to keep the reins 


ai upon throughout New England. It ©

= I believe Churches, schools, colleges, hospitals

Lena Ross — ) = F 
loli Seb Prisons should approach home conditions as 
far as possible, under necessary restrictions. 


Only the best type of men and women should 
be on the staff. 


Inmates should be taught to live inside, as 
we hope to have them live outside. 


There should be clean food, decently served. 


There should be work, honest work, not 
simply work to ‘‘kill time.” 


Beautiful surroundings (this does not mean 
expensive) are uplifting and each happy day, a 
character builder. 


The prison should be a hospital for body, 
mind and soul, a place where one can return when 
out of a job or needing advice.

World War II Bronze Star and 


Civilian Commendation 





First Lieut. Grace Brousseau of the 

Army Nurse Corp was awarded the 
Bronze Star for “heroic and meritorious 
service during the liberation of the Santo 
_ Tomas Internment Camp”. In February, 
1945 as part of the advance medical group 
she was ordered into a combat zone 

to provide medical care for about 3200 
American and allied civilians who had 
been interned against their will by the Catherine A. Jaskob_an em. 
Japanese since early 1942 in Luzon, Philippines. Through 

air raids, artillery and small arms fire she tended to Civilians 

and military personnel. 





LT. GRACE M. BROUSSEAUL,

Catherine A. Jaskot, an employee in 
Washington DC of the Ammunition 
Supply Division, Field Service, 

Ordnance developed a method of direct 
shipments of ammunition which effected 
an appreciable saving in time, manpower, 


\ and material and contributed materially 


in the successful prosecution of the war 
effort. The citation was presented in the 
Pentagon building by Maj. Gen. Julian S. 
Hatcher, chief of Field Service.”

Women in Rutland’s History 


ln Concluson .... 


There can be no doubt that women have improved every 





aspect of Rutland and made it a better place to live. 
They’ve endured hardship, showed courage and humanity, 
gave to the Community, raised and supported families, 
contributed to our spiritual life, educated us, healed us, 
started and ran businesses, supported their country, 

gave us art, music, and literature, taught us how to be 


physical, governed and protected us, and entertained us.
